The formula in plain language
The American Flag Size & Proportions result is the standard relationship for this job, applied to the numbers you type and the units on those fields. Flag proportions and fitness-test math follow published rules of thumb. A flag's fly is longer than its hoist, and the canton sits in the upper corner as you look at the flag. Fitness scores still have to be checked against the current official chart for your age group. Use the result to size the flag to the pole, or to see whether a practice test is in range. Confirm anything official with the source that issues the standard.
A worked example
Suppose Width (Hoist) is 12 and Length (Fly) is 8, in the units already selected on those fields. Press Calculate and write down the american flag size & proportions result. Change only Width (Hoist) to 24 and calculate again. If the result scales the way the formula says it should, the page is reading the form the way you intended. If it jumps by a factor of twelve, the unit on that field is still set to inches while you were thinking in feet, or the other way around.
Flag proportions follow a published ratio, and the fitness scores follow a service's own chart. This american flag size & proportions result belongs with Army fitness test and Army body fat.
Mistakes that move the answer
